Some of the plots take place in paris as well as in the french countryside. Although I was born in brazil and I went to school in england, I feel very at home in france, the people who read my novels all like the character Andrew, the police officer, and they often ask me, what makes me developed this character in that way? Well, the thought comes from a restaurant home right now who is a deep thinker and has a habit of observation. Now i'm busy adapting my new novel for a film. I've had to make some changes from the original novel, so I hope my readers won't be too upset in the book. There are several passengers where Andrew thinks things over to himself. It's difficult to show one thoughts on screen. So we've introduced a new character, an editor who becomes Andrews friend. Andrew tells him about his plans to solve problems, and I think the changes i've made unnecessary. The director asked me to add some special effects as well. I refused because I felt that special effects are not in keeping with the novel. I believe the film is going to be exciting enough without them. Today i'd like to talk about my new novel.

We have selected two must-see museum exhibitions in the city this autumn. Take a look. Picasso Sculpture, Modern Art Centre Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is one of the most famous painters the world has ever known. But right now, at the Modern Art Centre, it’s his sculptures that are taking centre stage. Running from 14 February to 7 September, the exhibition shows around 140 pieces created from 1902 to 1964. Large or small, the sculptures made from every kind of material can be found — bronze, steel, wood, and even cardboard. For those who have never seen Picasso’s art before, this is the place to go, claims the centre’s curator (博物馆馆长). According to him, through this exhibition, people can clearly feel the way Picasso wanted to try new things and how he did it. The World Goes Pop, Williamson Gallery You may think of pop art as a way to show US materialism — advertising, television, cola bottles, and soup cans. But Williamson Gallery’s autumn exhibition, held from17 September to 24 January, shows what pop art looks like in different countries. “I’m surprised to find that many of pop art’s famous qualities — flat, bright colours, graphic design, and a playful way of showing stars — went right round the world,” said one visitor after seeing the exhibition. And the exhibition doesn’t just offer an international view of pop art’s style. It also corrects the idea that pop art is just for men by including 25 female artists, many of whom have never had their work shown in a gallery before. 21. Which place will you choose if you want to see bronze statues created by Picasso? A. Modern Art Centre. B. Williamson Gallery. C. Both A and B. D. Neither A nor B. 22. Which exhibition should you go to if you want to see pop art? A. Modern Art Centre. B. Williamson Gallery. C. Picasso Sculpture. D. The World Goes Pop. 23. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. There are only two exhibitions in the city this autumn. B. Picasso Sculpture might be too complicated for visitors who have never seen Picasso’s art before. C. Visitors can see artworks of some female artists shown for the first time. D. The exhibition at Williamson Gallery this autumn shows US materialism. 24. Where can you most likely see the passage? A. In a comment on artworks. B. In a brochure for tourists. C. In a collection of short stories. D. On a popular science website. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C 24. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了两个秋季必看的博物馆展览，分别是现代艺术中心的毕加索雕塑展和威廉姆森画廊的世界流行艺术展。文章提到了展览的时间、地点以及展出的作品特点和艺术家背景等信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Picasso Sculpture, Modern Art Centre(毕加索雕塑，现代艺术中心)”部分的“Large or small, the sculptures made from every kind of material can be found — bronze, steel, wood, and even cardboard.(无论大小，由各种材料制成的雕塑都可以找到——青铜、钢铁、木材，甚至是纸板)”可知，想要看毕加索雕刻的铜雕塑，可以去现代艺术中心。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The World Goes Pop, Williamson Gallery(世界流行艺术展，威廉姆森画廊)”部分的“Williamson Gallery’s autumn exhibition, held from17 September to 24 January, shows what pop art looks like in different countries.(威廉姆森画廊的秋季展览（从9月17日持续到明年1月24日）展示了不同国家的流行艺术是什么样子的)”可知，如果你想去看流行艺术，你可以去世界流行艺术展。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It also corrects the idea that pop art is just for men by including 25 female artists, many of whom have never had their work shown in a gallery before.(纠正了流行艺术只适合男性的观念，其中包括了25位女性艺术家的作品，其中许多人的作品以前从未在画廊展出过)”可知，参观者可以看到一些女性艺术家的作品首次展出。故选C项。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We have selected two must-see museum exhibitions in the city this autumn. Take a look.(我们选择了今年秋季城市中两个必看的博物馆展览。一起来看看吧)”以及下文“Picasso Sculpture, Modern Art Centre(毕加索雕塑，现代艺术中心)”、“The World Goes Pop, Williamson Gallery(世界流行艺术展，威廉姆森画廊)”可知，本文主要介绍了秋天两个必看的博物馆。由此推知，本文最有可能来自于给游客的小册子。故选B项。 B We all know that some animals adapt to living in very cold environment, like polar bears in the frozen Arctic. But what about the opposite situation? How do animals become adapted to the life in very hot places? A great example of animals beating heat is the camel living in deserts. A major problem for camels in deserts is the temperature. It’s hot and dry during the day and can be very cold at night. So their fur can not only protect them from the burning sun at daytime, but also help keep warm at night. Another thing is that camels have long necks and legs, so they have large surface area to lose heat easily. They can stand body temperature above41℃, which would be really damaging to living creatures like us humans. And how can they manage to travel a long distance without water at all in deserts? They have large flat feet to spread their weight on the shifting sand. They store fat in their humps to keep them from getting hungry or dehydrated. This helps when they’re not able to find food or water for long periods of time. In addition to these, camels have other ways to adapt to their environment. In a desert, it can sometimes get very dusty. However, camels don’t mind since they have extremely thick and long eyelashes which protect their eyes from blowing sand. Sand up the nose can be a problem, but not for camels. They can shut their nostrils during sandstorms. 25. What do we know about camels living in deserts? A. Their fur can help keep cool at night. B. They have long necks to protect them from blowing sand. C. They have large flat feet to walk on the sand. D. They can stand body temperature up to 41℃. 26. What does the underlined word “dehydrated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Being lack of water. B. Being lack of food. C. Being lack of fat. D. Being lack of direction. 27. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Camel —the Best Traveller in Deserts B. The Camel Needs More Water C. The Harder, the Better D. Be the Best in Deserts 【答案】25. C 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了骆驼是如何适应炎热的沙漠环境的。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They have large flat feet to spread their weight on the shifting sand. (它们长着扁平的大脚，可以在流动的沙滩上分散体重。)”可知，生活在沙漠中的骆驼长着扁平的大脚，可以在沙滩上行走。故选C。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据下划线单词下文“This helps when they’re not able to find food or water for long periods of time. (当它们长时间找不到食物或水时，这很有帮助)”可知，划线单词所在句子的意思是“它们把脂肪储存在驼峰里，防止饥饿或dehydrated。”可推知，脂肪可以防止饥饿，而水可以防止“脱水或者缺水”。因此，第二段中带下划线的单词的意思是“缺水”。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段中“A great example of animals beating heat is the camel living in deserts. (动物战胜炎热的一个很好的例子是生活在沙漠中的骆驼。)”可知，文章主要介绍了骆驼是如何适应炎热的沙漠环境的。因此A项“骆驼——沙漠中最好的旅行者”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 C College. It means that you are finally going to leave your parents’ nest and experience a lot of personal freedom and independence. You’ll wear whatever you want. You’ll make new friends. And you are definitely ready to enjoy your time in “paradise”. However, college might be different than you have considered. When an English speaking contest was held in Beijing, about two-thirds of the 62 college students recalled their frustrations about their life in college. Many of them said they didn’t know what they were supposed to do in college. “Most of the time, I lingered around in my dorm, idling hours and hours away, watching entertainment shows or soap operas on the Internet, or chatting with roommates, ”Huang Xuan, 23, from Guangxi University, said of his first two years of college life. However, one day his mum asked him about his future plans after college. It was then that he realised his future would be ruined if he kept up such self-indulgence. Li Yan, 20, from Shenzhen University, suffered a loss of not being one of the “marked” students. She was neither the chairman of the Student Union nor the one with the highest scholarship. Sun Tingting, 21, from Suzhou University of Science and Technology, dominated all the exams with the highest scores, but she felt confused because when she was free, she could think of nothing else to do and no one else to talk to. Zhang Xin, 19, from Beijing Foreign Studies University, began to re- examine what “college” means after she noticed many graduates from elite schools ending up in a job that does not pay well. “Our future is not guaranteed by our college, but rather by how we reshape ourselves in college.” “Young people are experiencing ‘growing pains’,” said Li Fang, a mental health consultant. In the process of self-discovery, she thinks many Chinese young people suffer more than their peers in the West. Their independence comes much later. They are so used to relying on their parents that when independence suddenly comes in college, it can be difficult. “Relax,“ Li advised. “This is part of growing up.” 28. The underlined expression “idling hours and hours away” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”. A. killing time B. making use of time C. saving time D. valuing time 29. Which of the following frustrations of college students are NOT mentioned in the passage? A They are no longer the “best” students. B. They have no friends to talk to in their spare time. C. They have trouble communicating with their parents. D. They realise that good college doesn’t guarantee a good job. 30. According to Li Fang, why do many Chinese young people suffer more than their peers in the West? A. They often abandon themselves to watching TV or shows on the Internet. B. They are accustomed to counting on their parents before coming to college. C. They have never left their parents’ nests. D. They are definitely ready to enjoy their time in college. 31. What is Li Fang’s advice to young people? A. Learn from their peers in the West. B. Consult a psychologist. C. Relax and consider this as part of growing up. D. Stop relying on their parents and learn to take responsibility. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种社会现象：许多大学生不知道在大学应该做什么。作者分析了其中的一些原因。 【28题详解】 词语猜测题。划线部分下文“watching entertainment shows or soap operas on the Internet, or chatting with roommates (在网上看娱乐节目或肥皂剧，或与室友聊天)”可知，这些事情都是在打发时间，第三段中划线部分的意思是“消磨时间”。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。文章第五段讲到“Li Yan, 20, from Shenzhen University, suffered a loss of not being one of the “marked” students. (20岁的李燕来自深圳大学，她因不在“被标记”学生之列而倍感失落)”、“but she felt confused because when she was free, she could think of nothing else to do and no one else to talk to. (但她感到困惑，因为当她有空的时候，她想不出其他事情可做，也没有其他人可以说话。)”以及“ Zhang Xin, 19, from Beijing Foreign Studies University, began to re- examine what “college” means after she noticed many graduates from elite schools ending up in a job that does not pay well. “Our future is not guaranteed by our college, but rather by how we reshape ourselves in college.”(19岁的张欣来自北京外国语大学，当她注意到许多名校毕业生最后都找到了收入不高的工作后，她开始重新审视“大学”的含义。“我们的未来不是由大学来保证的，而是由我们在大学里如何重塑自己来保证的。”)”可知，在大学生的挫折中，没有提到的是他们与父母交流有困难。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲到“Their independence comes much later. They are so used to relying on their parents that when independence suddenly comes in college, it can be difficult.

You will probably answer “NO!” It seems that top athletes live in a world that is totally different from ours. They don’t have to worry about homework or exams. There are fans everywhere they go, constantly cheering them on. However, if we could see into their minds, it would be clear that they are actually just like us. We may not all be sports stars, but we have to face similar problems. We set goals and seek self- development. We have to manage our fears before important exams. We worry about our relationships with classmates... Like sportspeople, we try to be mentally strong and do our best on a daily basis. However, how an athlete becomes a success teaches all of us a lesson. To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, but also mentally. They have to get to know themselves, highlight their strong points, manage stresses and develop their powers of concentration. Here is some advice on how to achieve success from China’s top athletes. China’s top woman badminton player Zhang Ning shows us the importance of motivation. It’s the first step to success. It is her love of badminton and sense of responsibility that contribute to her success. Teng Haibin’s experience shows that “planning” exactly what should be done in your mind is as important as physical preparation. Give yourself a few minutes before a speech contest, for example. Close your eyes and picture things like your posture. It helps a lot! How important is concentration? Hurdling star Liu Xiang knows. Focus is not only important for Liu Xiang, but for you too. If you can’t focus in class, you won’t get good grades. A clear objective encourages a person to pursue their dream. Diving star Xiong Ni won a silver and a bronze in two Olympics. But his goal of winning an Olympic gold medal drove him on. Top athletes show us that success isn’t simply down to chance and that all people can steer their life’s journey. 32. According to the passage, to achieve their goals, sportspeople should do the following EXCEPT________. A. get to know themselves well B. manage stresses C. develop powers of concentration D. stop being tough with themselves 33. From the passage, we can know that________. A. success of top athletes largely depends on chance B. ordinary people don’t need to become strong-minded C. one needs to be physically and mentally prepared to achieve success D. sportspeople have similar fears before important exams 34. The underlined word “objective ” in paragraph 7 can be replaced by “________”. A. medal B. goal C. dream D. decision 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. Top athletes’ stories of success. B. Problems that ordinary people have in common with top athletes. C. The importance of physical and mental health. D. Lessons drawn from top athletes’ success. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了顶尖运动员如何成功给我们所有人上了一课，向我们展示了成功不仅仅取决于机会，我们可以控制自己的人生旅途的方向。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They have to get to know themselves, highlight their strong points, manage stresses and develop their powers of concentration. (他们必须了解自己，突出自己的优势，管理压力，培养自己的专注力)”可知，根据这篇文章，运动员为了达到他们的目标，运动员应该做的事情中不包括不要对自己太苛刻。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, but also mentally. (为了实现他们的目标，运动员不仅要在身体上做好准备，还要在心理上做好准备)”可知，，我们可以得知一个人需要在身体和精神上做好准备才能获得成功。故选C。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第七段“Diving star Xiong Ni won a silver and a bronze in two Olympics. But his goal of winning an Olympic gold medal drove him on (跳水明星熊倪在两届奥运会中获得一枚银牌和一枚铜牌。但是他赢得奥运金牌的目标激励着他。)”可知，跳水明星熊倪有自己明确的目标，是他的目标激励着他。因此，带下划线的单词的意思是为“目标”，B项goal“目标”符合题意。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了顶尖运动员如何成功给我们所有人上了一课，向我们展示了成功不仅仅取决于机会，我们可以控制自己的人生旅途的方向，结合第三段“However, how an athlete becomes a success teaches all of us a lesson. To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, but also mentally. (然而，一个运动员如何成功给我们所有人上了一课。为了实现他们的目标，运动员不仅要在身体上做好准备，还要在心理上做好准备)”可知，这篇文章主要是关于从顶尖运动员的成功中吸取的教训。故选D。 第三部分 语言应用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A 70-year-old Chinese woman has been called “Super Grannie” after it was reported that she is ____36____ about running and has completed over 100 marathons (马拉松) so far Most people ____37____ to take it easy after they retire (退休), but Wang Guilan, from Liaoning, is ____38____ not one of them.

When you think about it, no other relationship is like the one we have with our mom and dad: when we’re young, our parents care for us; when our parents are old, we care for them. But in the middle of this long bond, there usually comes a time when it seems like our parents are our biggest enemies: when we’re teenagers. As kids, we love nothing more than spending as much time as we can with our parents. ____51____ As US psychologist Lisa Damour wrote recently, “Many parents of teenagers long for the days when their preteen laughed at their jokes and happily came along on errands.” So, why is it that as we begin to enter adulthood, we feel so different about the two people who brought us into the world? “Teenagers are going through a very stressful time in their lives: they want to please us, but they also want to break away,” US psychologist Michele Borba said. Borba’s second point is perhaps the biggest reason why our attitude toward our parents changes as we grow older. ____52____ We’re no longer kids, and as young adults, we try to be as independent as possible. We soon start to put our friends before our parents. Before we know it, things at home are completely different. But rather than pushing our parents away, we should pay attention to their advice instead of ignoring it. “____53____They’re my own support system. Everybody thinks friends are more important, but they’re not,” a teenage girl told an Australian website. Although sometimes it may seem impossible to follow everything our parents tell us, there’s one thing we should remember - respect is something that works two ways: ____54____ It means that instead of not following our parents’ wishes, we should show how mature we are by trusting their wisdom. Indeed, as the girl pointed out, “____55____Family is always there.” A. Friendship is the most important thing to me. B. Family is the most important thing to me. C. But as we approach our teenage years, it seems like everything our parents do is just annoying. D. In our mid-to-late teenage years, this is when we start to discover who we really are. E. Friends are great, but they’ll come and go. F. If we show respect to others, it will be shown back to us. G. With time passing by, we want to stay with our friends for long. 【答案】51. C 52. D 53. B 54. F 55. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是青春期的孩子经常与父母对立，并把朋友关系放在第一位，而事实上，朋友在生活中有来有去，而父母永远是孩子的后盾，孩子与父母的关系才是最重要的。 【51题详解】 根据空前的“As kids, we love nothing more than spending as much time as we can with our parents.(作为孩子，我们最喜欢花尽可能多的时间和父母在一起。)”可知，小的时候都喜欢与父母在一起，根据下文中的“As US psychologist Lisa Damour wrote recently, “Many parents of teenagers long for the days when their preteen laughed at their jokes and happily came along on errands.” So, why is it that as we begin to enter adulthood, we feel so different about the two people who brought us into the world?(正如美国心理学家丽莎·达莫最近所写的那样：“许多青少年的父母都渴望孩子能被他们的笑话逗乐，开心地陪他们跑腿。”那么，为什么当我们开始步入成年时，我们对把我们带到这个世界上的两个人的感觉如此不同呢？)”可知，小时候孩子们愿意跟父母在一起，为什么步入成年时，对父母的感觉就不同了呢？由此可知，此空处应与空前的内容相反，C选项“But as we approach our teenage years, it seems like everything our parents do is just annoying.(但当我们接近青春期时，父母所做的一切似乎都很烦人。)”讲述的内容与空前内容为转折关系，说明在进入青春期后孩子对父母的态度发什么转变，与下文中的提到的疑问内容一致，符合语境。故选C项。 【52题详解】 根据空前的““Teenagers are going through a very stressful time in their lives: they want to please us, but they also want to break away,” US psychologist Michele Borba said. Borba’s second point is perhaps the biggest reason why our attitude toward our parents changes as we grow older. (美国心理学家Michele Borba说：“青少年正在经历生活中非常紧张的时期:他们想要取悦我们，但也想要脱离我们。”Borba的第二点可能是我们对父母的态度随着年龄增长而改变的最大原因。)”可知，Borba认为，青少年经历生活中非常紧张的时期，他们想要取悦我们，又想要脱离我们，而Borba的第二点是对父母的态度发生改变的最大原因，D选项“In our mid-to-late teenage years, this is when we start to discover who we really are.(在我们青少年的中后期，这是我们开始发现我们真正是谁的时候。)”可知，在青春期的中后期的时候开始发现自己真正是谁，与Borba的第一点内容吻合，。故选D项。 【53题详解】 根据空后的内容“Everybody thinks friends are more important, but they’re not(每个人都认为朋友更重要，但事实并非如此)”可知，一个小女孩在接受澳大利亚的一家网站采访时说，她认为并非朋友更重要，结合语境和“They’re my own support system.(他们是我的支持系统。)”可知，在她看来应该是家人更重要，B选项“Family is the most important thing to me.(家人对我来说是最重要的。)”中的family与空后的they指代的内容一致，符合语境。故选B项。 【54题详解】 根据空前的“Although sometimes it may seem impossible to follow everything our parents tell us, there’s one thing we should remember - respect is something that works two ways:(虽然有时候我们似乎不可能完全按照父母告诉我们的去做，但有一件事我们应该记住——尊重是双向的:)”可知，尊重是双向的，结合空前的冒号可知，此处应是讲述尊重的双向指的是什么，F选项“If we show respect to others, it will be shown back to us.(如果我们尊重别人，别人也会尊重我们。)”讲述的是我们尊重别人，别人也会尊重我们，这是上文中所提到的尊重的双向，符合语境。故选F项。 【55题详解】 根据空前的“Indeed, as the girl pointed out”可知，此处讲述的应是与上文女孩所提到的观点相关，结合上文中的““ ____3____ They’re my own support system. Everybody thinks friends are more important, but they’re not,” a teenage girl told an Australian website.(“____3____他们是我的支持系统。每个人都认为朋友更重要，但事实并非如此，”一位十几岁的女孩在接受澳大利亚一家网站采访时表示。)”可知，一位青少年女孩认为家人是最重要的，朋友并不是最重要的，由此可知，此空处应涉及到朋友的内容，E选项“Friends are great, but they’ll come and go.(朋友很好，但他们会来也会去。)”讲述的内容提及到朋友的相关信息，且与空后的内容“Family is always there.(家人总是在那里。)”相呼应，符合语境。故选E项。 第二节 (共10小题，每小题1. 5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 This is the year 2070.

Therefore, it is not surprising for you to see many people in our city walk a long way because they can’t even afford an old used car. It was a cold windy day. I saw one of these people who often have to walk from and to work every day, when I was driving after work. A middle-aged man wearing only a thin overcoat was walking down the road and trying to ask for a ride from the passing cars. Unluckily, there was no driver willing to stop their cars. When I saw two cars in front of me pass him by, I wanted to do the same. But the sight of that poor man remained in my mind for quite a moment. I felt as if a big hand was dragging me and forcing me not to leave. Finally I drew back and gave him a ride. As I drove along, we had a conversation, during which he told me something about himself and his family. I learnt that the man was doing everything he could to support his family using the limited salary from several part-time jobs. As you could imagine, every coin he earned was going to be used to pay for the house and food. It was a long drive before we got to his home. All the way, I could feel his hardship and tiredness. But as we came close to the house where he was living, I saw his tired eyes grow bright and the whole body was lit up. His lovely girl was playing in the front yard. Seeing her father was out of the car, she ran to him as quickly as possible, reaching out her two small hands. He held the girl with his two strong hands, laughing and kissing her cheeks. I was lost in that happy moment. I smiled, said goodbye to them, wished them the future happiness and then drove off. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On my way home, something came into my mind. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Half an hour later, I got home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: On my way home, something came into my mind. I thought of my lovely daughter and my happy family. Usually, as a manager of a small firm, I was so busy that I had broken many promises to have dinner with my family. Even I had never seen my honey girl for ten days. Because every night when I got home, she had fallen asleep and the next morning when I left, she was still in her dream. I felt quite sorry for everything I had done before. Half an hour later, I got home. My daughter was shocked to see me go home so early. But quickly a big smile spread on her face. She put down her toy, flew to me and hugged me tightly. “Dad, am I dreaming?” she asked. “Of course not. ” I told her what had happened today and promised to spend more time with her and her mom as they are the most valuable treasures in the world to me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在路上帮助一个可怜的男人搭车，在车里和作者聊天工作很辛苦但看到女儿就很开心，让作者明白亲情重要性的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在回家的路上，我想起了一件事。”可知，第一段可描写作者回忆起过去自己没有陪伴妻女的事。 ②由第二段首句内容“半小时后，我回到了家。”可知，第二段可描写作者明白陪伴的重要性。 2.续写线索：搭车——交流——理解——回忆——珍惜——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①睡着：fall asleep / catch off ②放下：lay down/ put down 情绪类 ①可爱的：lovely/cute ②震惊的：shocked/startled 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

We have selected two must-see museum exhibitions in the city this autumn. Take a look. Picasso Sculpture, Modern Art Centre Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is one of the most famous painters the world has ever known. But right now, at the Modern Art Centre, it’s his sculptures that are taking centre stage. Running from 14 February to 7 September, the exhibition shows around 140 pieces created from 1902 to 1964. Large or small, the sculptures made from every kind of material can be found — bronze, steel, wood, and even cardboard. For those who have never seen Picasso’s art before, this is the place to go, claims the centre’s curator (博物馆馆长). According to him, through this exhibition, people can clearly feel the way Picasso wanted to try new things and how he did it. The World Goes Pop, Williamson Gallery You may think of pop art as a way to show US materialism — advertising, television, cola bottles, and soup cans. But Williamson Gallery’s autumn exhibition, held from17 September to 24 January, shows what pop art looks like in different countries. “I’m surprised to find that many of pop art’s famous qualities — flat, bright colours, graphic design, and a playful way of showing stars — went right round the world,” said one visitor after seeing the exhibition. And the exhibition doesn’t just offer an international view of pop art’s style. It also corrects the idea that pop art is just for men by including 25 female artists, many of whom have never had their work shown in a gallery before. 21. Which place will you choose if you want to see bronze statues created by Picasso? A. Modern Art Centre. B. Williamson Gallery. C. Both A and B. D. Neither A nor B. 22. Which exhibition should you go to if you want to see pop art? A. Modern Art Centre. B. Williamson Gallery. C. Picasso Sculpture. D. The World Goes Pop. 23. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. There are only two exhibitions in the city this autumn. B. Picasso Sculpture might be too complicated for visitors who have never seen Picasso’s art before. C. Visitors can see artworks of some female artists shown for the first time. D. The exhibition at Williamson Gallery this autumn shows US materialism. 24. Where can you most likely see the passage? A. In a comment on artworks. B. In a brochure for tourists. C. In a collection of short stories. D. On a popular science website. B We all know that some animals adapt to living in very cold environment, like polar bears in the frozen Arctic. But what about the opposite situation? How do animals become adapted to the life in very hot places? A great example of animals beating heat is the camel living in deserts. A major problem for camels in deserts is the temperature. It’s hot and dry during the day and can be very cold at night. So their fur can not only protect them from the burning sun at daytime, but also help keep warm at night. Another thing is that camels have long necks and legs, so they have large surface area to lose heat easily. They can stand body temperature above41℃, which would be really damaging to living creatures like us humans. And how can they manage to travel a long distance without water at all in deserts? They have large flat feet to spread their weight on the shifting sand. They store fat in their humps to keep them from getting hungry or dehydrated. This helps when they’re not able to find food or water for long periods of time. In addition to these, camels have other ways to adapt to their environment. In a desert, it can sometimes get very dusty. However, camels don’t mind since they have extremely thick and long eyelashes which protect their eyes from blowing sand. Sand up the nose can be a problem, but not for camels. They can shut their nostrils during sandstorms. 25. What do we know about camels living in deserts? A. Their fur can help keep cool at night. B. They have long necks to protect them from blowing sand. C. They have large flat feet to walk on the sand. D. They can stand body temperature up to 41℃. 26. What does the underlined word “dehydrated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Being lack of water. B. Being lack of food. C. Being lack of fat. D. Being lack of direction. 27. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Camel —the Best Traveller in Deserts B. The Camel Needs More Water C. The Harder, the Better D. Be the Best in Deserts C College. It means that you are finally going to leave your parents’ nest and experience a lot of personal freedom and independence. You’ll wear whatever you want. You’ll make new friends. And you are definitely ready to enjoy your time in “paradise”. However, college might be different than you have considered. When an English speaking contest was held in Beijing, about two-thirds of the 62 college students recalled their frustrations about their life in college. Many of them said they didn’t know what they were supposed to do in college. “Most of the time, I lingered around in my dorm, idling hours and hours away, watching entertainment shows or soap operas on the Internet, or chatting with roommates, ”Huang Xuan, 23, from Guangxi University, said of his first two years of college life. However, one day his mum asked him about his future plans after college. It was then that he realised his future would be ruined if he kept up such self-indulgence. Li Yan, 20, from Shenzhen University, suffered a loss of not being one of the “marked” students. She was neither the chairman of the Student Union nor the one with the highest scholarship. Sun Tingting, 21, from Suzhou University of Science and Technology, dominated all the exams with the highest scores, but she felt confused because when she was free, she could think of nothing else to do and no one else to talk to. Zhang Xin, 19, from Beijing Foreign Studies University, began to re- examine what “college” means after she noticed many graduates from elite schools ending up in a job that does not pay well. “Our future is not guaranteed by our college, but rather by how we reshape ourselves in college.” “Young people are experiencing ‘growing pains’,” said Li Fang, a mental health consultant. In the process of self-discovery, she thinks many Chinese young people suffer more than their peers in the West. Their independence comes much later. They are so used to relying on their parents that when independence suddenly comes in college, it can be difficult. “Relax,“ Li advised. “This is part of growing up.” 28. The underlined expression “idling hours and hours away” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”. A. killing time B. making use of time C. saving time D. valuing time 29. Which of the following frustrations of college students are NOT mentioned in the passage? A. They are no longer the “best” students. B. They have no friends to talk to in their spare time. C. They have trouble communicating with their parents. D. They realise that good college doesn’t guarantee a good job. 30. According to Li Fang, why do many Chinese young people suffer more than their peers in the West? A. They often abandon themselves to watching TV or shows on the Internet. B. They are accustomed to counting on their parents before coming to college. C. They have never left their parents’ nests. D. They are definitely ready to enjoy their time in college. 31 What is Li Fang’s advice to young people? A. Learn from their peers in the West. B. Consult a psychologist. C. Relax and consider this as part of growing up. D. Stop relying on their parents and learn to take responsibility. D Do Yao Ming, Liu Xiang or Guo Jingjing have anything in common with people like us? You will probably answer “NO!” It seems that top athletes live in a world that is totally different from ours. They don’t have to worry about homework or exams. There are fans everywhere they go, constantly cheering them on. However, if we could see into their minds, it would be clear that they are actually just like us. We may not all be sports stars, but we have to face similar problems. We set goals and seek self- development. We have to manage our fears before important exams. We worry about our relationships with classmates... Like sportspeople, we try to be mentally strong and do our best on a daily basis. However, how an athlete becomes a success teaches all of us a lesson. To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, but also mentally. They have to get to know themselves, highlight their strong points, manage stresses and develop their powers of concentration. Here is some advice on how to achieve success from China’s top athletes. China’s top woman badminton player Zhang Ning shows us the importance of motivation. It’s the first step to success. It is her love of badminton and sense of responsibility that contribute to her success. Teng Haibin’s experience shows that “planning” exactly what should be done in your mind is as important as physical preparation. Give yourself a few minutes before a speech contest, for example. Close your eyes and picture things like your posture. It helps a lot! How important is concentration? Hurdling star Liu Xiang knows. Focus is not only important for Liu Xiang, but for you too. If you can’t focus in class, you won’t get good grades. A clear objective encourages a person to pursue their dream. Diving star Xiong Ni won a silver and a bronze in two Olympics. But his goal of winning an Olympic gold medal drove him on. Top athletes show us that success isn’t simply down to chance and that all people can steer their life’s journey. 32. According to the passage, to achieve their goals, sportspeople should do the following EXCEPT________. A. get to know themselves well B. manage stresses C. develop powers of concentration D. stop being tough with themselves 33. From the passage, we can know that________. A. success of top athletes largely depends on chance B. ordinary people don’t need to become strong-minded C. one needs to be physically and mentally prepared to achieve success D. sportspeople have similar fears before important exams 34. The underlined word “objective ” in paragraph 7 can be replaced by “________”. A. medal B. goal C. dream D. decision 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. Top athletes’ stories of success. B. Problems that ordinary people have in common with top athletes. C. The importance of physical and mental health. D. Lessons drawn from top athletes’ success. 第三部分 语言应用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A 70-year-old Chinese woman has been called “Super Grannie” after it was reported that she is ____36____ about running and has completed over 100 marathons (马拉松) so far.

When you think about it, no other relationship is like the one we have with our mom and dad: when we’re young, our parents care for us; when our parents are old, we care for them. But in the middle of this long bond, there usually comes a time when it seems like our parents are our biggest enemies: when we’re teenagers. As kids, we love nothing more than spending as much time as we can with our parents. ____51____ As US psychologist Lisa Damour wrote recently, “Many parents of teenagers long for the days when their preteen laughed at their jokes and happily came along on errands.” So, why is it that as we begin to enter adulthood, we feel so different about the two people who brought us into the world? “Teenagers are going through a very stressful time in their lives: they want to please us, but they also want to break away,” US psychologist Michele Borba said. Borba’s second point is perhaps the biggest reason why our attitude toward our parents changes as we grow older. ____52____ We’re no longer kids, and as young adults, we try to be as independent as possible. We soon start to put our friends before our parents. Before we know it, things at home are completely different. But rather than pushing our parents away, we should pay attention to their advice instead of ignoring it. “____53____They’re my own support system. Everybody thinks friends are more important, but they’re not,” a teenage girl told an Australian website. Although sometimes it may seem impossible to follow everything our parents tell us, there’s one thing we should remember - respect is something that works two ways: ____54____ It means that instead of not following our parents’ wishes, we should show how mature we are by trusting their wisdom. Indeed, as the girl pointed out, “____55____Family is always there.” A. Friendship is the most important thing to me. B. Family is the most important thing to me. C. But as we approach our teenage years, it seems like everything our parents do is just annoying. D. In our mid-to-late teenage years, this is when we start to discover who we really are. E. Friends are great, but they’ll come and go. F. If we show respect to others, it will be shown back to us. G. With time passing by, we want to stay with our friends for long. 第二节 (共10小题，每小题1. 5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 This is the year 2070.

I’m afraid I don’t have much time left to live. I’m already one of the oldest people in this society. I remember when I ____58____ (be) five years old, everything was very different.

Therefore, it is not surprising for you to see many people in our city walk a long way because they can’t even afford an old used car. It was a cold windy day. I saw one of these people who often have to walk from and to work every day, when I was driving after work. A middle-aged man wearing only a thin overcoat was walking down the road and trying to ask for a ride from the passing cars. Unluckily, there was no driver willing to stop their cars. When I saw two cars in front of me pass him by, I wanted to do the same. But the sight of that poor man remained in my mind for quite a moment.
